Does it Feel Like You Are Outgrowing Your IT?

Technology is crucial for business operations today, regardless of a company’s size or growth. Therefore, it is vital that the IT infrastructure can adapt to changes in business scale.

Let’s discuss why having an IT infrastructure that fits your business is important and explore best practices for tailoring it.

First, we'll explore why a scalable infrastructure is essential, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses in Boston Metro and across the North East.

Benefits of a Flexible, Scalable IT Infrastructure

Modern businesses benefit significantly from scalability, often needing it to stay competitive. Scalability is integral to a business' growth, allowing it to expand operations and increase revenue without sacrificing quality. Scaling technology enhances utility without negatively impacting performance or user experience, enabling your team to accomplish more.

A scalable IT infrastructure also allows your team to shift priorities quickly and pursue new opportunities while using resources efficiently. This flexibility supports remote work capabilities and should be part of your business continuity planning.

Clearly, having a flexible infrastructure is beneficial. Let’s look at best practices for managing and ensuring its scalability.

Best Practices for IT Infrastructure Scalability

Understand Your Needs

First, understand your business goals and what you need to support them. What will you require to meet the responsibilities that growth brings? Answering these questions helps you choose the right tools and resources.

Incorporate cybersecurity, redundancy, backup, and other preventative measures to protect your business and ensure compliance with relevant standards.

Monitor Performance

Regularly monitor your IT infrastructure to identify issues and potential upgrades. Proactively addressing these can prevent problems from affecting your operations. Use monitoring tools to gather data and evaluate the effectiveness of changes.

Seek Professional Assistance

Managing these tasks can be time-consuming, and many businesses lack the in-house expertise needed for effective scaling. Outsourcing to an external provider, such as a managed service provider (MSP) like BNMC, is a great option.

How an MSP Facilitates Scaling and IT Management

An MSP can act as your IT department, either supplementing your in-house staff or serving as a fully outsourced entity. They take on the responsibility for your business’ technology needs, including:

  • Consulting - Providing expert advice.
  • Support - Offering additional technical support.
  • Vendor advocacy - Working with vendors on your behalf.

Monitoring and managing your IT infrastructure, including helping you scale it, falls under an MSP’s services. We can be your MSP, offering all these services and more. To learn more about us and our offerings, please call us at (978) 482-2020.
